Aquabot Classic - Drive Motor Issues

[mminetti]

Over the past several days I've had an odd issue with our Aquabot. When I first put it in the pool it runs around the pool as it should. After about 5 minutes the drive motor shuts off and the Aquabot sits there just pumping water. I turn it off, let it sit and it runs again. I have had the belts checked and the wiring looked at by a service center.

Any other thoughts besides a new $500 drive motor?

Also since $500 for a drive motor is about 1/2 the price of a new one, if that is really the problem does anyone recommend any of the other cleaners (be the other Aquabot's or other brands?)

Thanks for your help

Test with a supply too.

I have tested it with multiple power supplies and the issue exists with both. I'm hoping that perhaps there is just a loose wire, it actually made it through a full 7 hour clean cycle today, we'll see.
